Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a dictionary. We cannot accept articles that are little more than definitions of words or abbreviations as entries. A good article should begin with a good definition, but expand on the subject. You might try creating a definition for this instead at Wiktionary, which is a dictionary. Please only do so if it meets that sister project's criteria for inclusion. These require among others, attestation for the word or phrase, as verified through clear widespread use, or its use in permanently recorded media, conveying meaning, in at least three independent instances spanning at least a year.

MemeGen (sometimes stylised Memegen) is a name shared by three unrelated meme-generation tools:
Google internal tool
[edit]- Launched in 2010 by two Google engineers, Google’s private Memegen is an intranet message board that lets employees create image macros and vote on each other’s jokes.[1][2]
- The board has become a barometer of employee sentiment; popular posts often critique corporate policy, leadership decisions and product launches.[2]
- In 2024 Google removed the “thumbs-down” reaction and view-count metrics to reduce perceived negativity.[1]
Open-source MemeGen API (memegen.link)
[edit]- Memegen.link is a free, stateless REST API written in Python that renders meme images entirely from URL parameters.[3][4]
- Users choose from hundreds of templates or supply custom images; the service outputs PNG, JPEG, GIF, or WebP and is widely embedded in Slack and Discord bots.[4]
MemeGen AI
[edit]- MemeGen AI (meme-gen.ai) is a public web application, introduced in 2024, that applies generative-AI models to turn uploaded photos into short animated GIF or video memes with preset effects.[5][6]
- The service is free to use, watermark-free, and offers one-click templates such as “Face Slap” and “Power Blast” for rapid meme creation.[6][7]
